Garmin uses a 16:9 aspect ratio rather than a 2:1, so perhaps that’s why the zenith and nadir look “pinched in.” For this reason, we will most likely never use the Garmin in any mode but RAW, and always do the stitching ourselves. Stitching in camera looks pretty decent along the seam lines on the horizon, although we did notice a pretty nasty artifact in the zenith (top) and nadir (bottom) of the stitch in just about every shot we allowed the camera to process. They are really only a couple hundred pixels in difference.Īs a production studio, we will likely not use the in-camera stitching that much, but this news could be quite a bummer to prosumers and amateurs out there looking to get started with 360 video production and don't want to hassle with stitching. This is worth mentioning, because people are already comparing Garmin’s 5.7k to GoPro Fusion’s 5.2k. You’ll be warned about decreased battery life, less card space (duh) and potential for overheating when you toggle 5.7k mode.

It’s also important to note that 5.7k mode can only be activated through the mobile phone app, not the camera’s menu system. If you want to take advantage of stitching in the camera automatically, you’ll be limited to 4k resolution.įurthermore, given overlap needed to stitch, the resulting footage is more like 5.3k. The 5.7k resolution is only available in what Garmin calls “RAW” lens mode, which provides you with 2 video files in 2880x2880 hemispheres that you need to stitch with Garmin VIRB Edit or third-party software. Resolution in Real NumbersĪlthough the VIRB 360 is advertised as a 5.7k 360 video camera, there are a few important facts to clear up. It’s important to note that these settings are only available via the mobile app, not by the camera’s menu system.

There are also a host of manual control options including ISO, white balance, bracketing, flat color modes, sharpness, and exposure balance between lenses.

Beyond this, features like voice activation, time lapse modes, built in GPS data, 4-channel spatial audio, WiFi, BlueTooth and NFC make it even more appealing. This is the true definition of rugged, and absolutely vital for some of the more outdoorsy and extreme projects we have on the books for this Summer.

The most important to us was the ability to submerge the camera in water up to 33 feet without the need for a housing.

There’s no doubt, Garmin crammed about every feature they could into this tiny camera. We’re in dire need of a camera system that is ultra compact and durable to use in the elements. With GoPro Fusion taking a while to become a reality, we jumped at the chance to order the Garmin VIRB 360 and put it through the paces.

As a waterproof full 360x180 camera in a very compact package, this intrigued us at 360 Labs. Garmin has recently entered the 360 camera game with their own GPS enabled 5.7k camera with back to back lenses.
